General Thoughts: The publisher kindly sent me this darling little book for review. Thank you :)
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Things I Liked:
1. The writing as always (I really enjoy Sudha Murty's writing and story telling) was simple and beautiful and moving, all hallmarks of Murty's writing style.
2. The art in these pages is truly beautiful and add so much to the story.
3. This is a perfect way to introduce kids to the beauty of Sudha Murty's writing.
4. The tale itself is simple and delightful. A mix of magic and a life lesson conveyed simply but effectively.
5. This was such a happy story and a such a fun read. Aimed at children but I see no reason why adults couldn't enjoy this folklore over a cup of coffee. Beautiful story telling and even prettier art. What's not to love?!
Rating: 5/5
Highly recommend.
Buy it for the kiddo in your life!
Or for yourself!
